Bottle Top magnet

If your like me, you see creativity in waste. Months ago I made a hand full of these little bottle top magnets and tonight decided to make an instructable for them.

What you will need:
Bottle tops
Epoxy + something to mix it with/on
Strong magnets

Step 1 Round-up supplies

First thing to do is find your caps, obviously ones that haven't been destroyed. The easiest ones are twist off and you'll be surprised if you drink often how many just get tossed.

Then track down your magnets, rare earth magnets work best. I'm cheap and pulled mine from broken cd-roms. I won't go into detail, but lets just say it takes a bit of work to get them out and I won't cover that in this tutorial!

this is a neat idea. (: My guy and I recently went on a huge bottled beer endeavor to cover the table which currently holds this computer with 396 bottle caps. My favorite part was looking at caps from beers we had forgotten, and getting to remember a glimpse of where we were and what we did during and after drinking that 6 pack. There are a bunch of local brews from various states we visited, as well as locals from the state where we no longer live. I recommend you keep these for a long time - and then have memories as such.

Interesting. I believe my refrigerator is in need of a set of these. Nice work!!
